So last night, something in our microwave “blew up.” Not in the food compartment, but something where the magneto etc. sits.

When it popped there was a loud electrical buzzing noise for about 2 seconds, followed by our breaker popping.

So what’s weird is for those 2 seconds, me and my wife, who were 10 feet away, felt electrical shocks in our bodies. For me my tongue twitched and I had a “metallic” taste sensation as if I just licked a 9 volt battery; for my wife, her hand got tingly / numb. Neither of us was touching anything metal at that point.

wtf was that??
